After the golden light, Lin Suo’s face twitched and his fingers trembled as he looked at the “thing” in his hands.
“What the f*ck is this?!”
He could not be blamed for losing his composure. It was just that the product of synthesis was too evil.
The original eight-petal Enlightening Flower had turned into the eight tentacles of an octopus that were covered with the short fur of the black goat and a few tufts of curly hair.
He was speechless.
The stem and leaves were also wrapped in flesh and blood, with black hairy leaves growing on them…
The stamen was filled with the face of the three-eyed octopus. Because its eyes had been dug out, the eye sockets were dark, like the mask of the Grim Reaper in Scream.
The pale octopus skin was covered with short black fur as well.
Even the God of Evil would shake his head.
Most importantly, the eight tentacles began to sway as if they were truly “resurrected”.
“A plant with extraordinary vitality + living creature corpses = strange half-plant, half-living meat plant…”
Lin Suo usually had a vague idea of the result of syntheses.
Just like when he was synthesizing clothes at the very beginning, he understood that he had absolute control over the synthesized object. No matter how far away it was, as long as he wanted to, he could destroy the synthesized object.
Similarly, the clothes he synthesized could automatically match his body shape, which was wonderful like it was born that way.
He had the same confidence toward the octopus flower.
It was still “alive”, so it wouldn’t be a problem to plant it in the underground Night Garden.
It was just that in addition to the magic energy and normal soil nutrients, it also needed to eat meat.
Its effect was derived from the Enlightening Flower.
Upon consumption, it had the wonderful effect of increasing mental power and expanding the mental power space.
The first effect was so-so, but the second one was quite rare.
It was hard to find.
Lin Suo felt that it had something to do with the three-eyed octopus. As a native mutated sea magic beast, the three-eyed octopus could release acid rays mainly through its third eye. The octopus’s development of its “numerous” allowed it to utilize magic energy to master spells and skills.
It was very smart, and because of this, the self-taught wizards who survived on the sea rarely hunted three-eyed octopuses. Most of them were hunted by academic Magis.
“I’ll plant it first. In the future, I’ll buy a whole corpse and try to synthesize it.”
At first, Lin Suo was very resistant to such Evil God Compounds. After all, it was too disgusting to use corpses in syntheses.
However, if there was a profit to be made, he had to develop it well.
Since the Enlightenment Reagent was no longer useful, he could change it to the Black Octopus Reagent to expand his mental power space and increase his cultivation speed.
On the other hand, the Evil God Compound could always conjure “out of thin air” things that could barely be considered living. He could consider developing it into puppets, colossi, undead, and so on.
After all, he was alone.
Without any security around him when he left the bookstore, he would be diffident.
He should do something evil and use it as a backup force.
That night, Lin Suo stayed up late as he did every day and made a plan.
[1. Meditate with all my might and breakthrough to become an intermediate apprentice.]
[2. Train Mud Stone Conversion hard and strive to reach the +2 blue grade, as well as develop more uses.]
[3. Buy new spells, purchase three-eyed octopuses, and plant a new species, the black octopus flower.]
[4. After my strength is upgraded, go to the Fiend Salt Swamp to gain experience and increase combat experience. This will prevent me from panicking and getting into trouble when I end up in fights with others in the future. Secondly, hunt Swamp-swallowing Frogs, harvest their stomachs, and try out the stacking method to make my own spatial equipment. This way, it would be much more convenient for me to go out.]
[5. Open more businesses on the surface, become a qualified Dandong merchant, and buy a title to protect myself.]
The fifth plan was left at the end. He had to first think about what business he wanted to do, then plan how to expand it and build connections.
After making a plan, he arranged the order.
Lin Suo’s daily routine became increasingly fixed. This time, he did not go to White Rose to buy spells. Instead, he went to the platform under Marine College, Deep Sea Mutants Society.
A few advanced Magi apprentices were in charge here. Lin Suo had come prepared, so he quickly picked some popular spells that he liked and returned home.
In the basement, Lin Suo read, and in the blink of an eye, he had learned the spell and obtained 20 proficiency in practicing points.
This time, the common spells he chose were Magical Hand and Underwater Breathing Technique. They were both apprentice-level spells and were only average in power.
Living by the sea, the Underwater Breathing Technique was a necessity for almost everyone, so it was very common. Its effect was very good. Every time it was cast, it could last for three hours.
It was one of the good tools for Magis in water.
The Magical Hand was also extremely common.
It allowed one to construct a blue arm from magic energy that could replace a Magi’s hands in taking things, assisting in life, and so on.
The grip strength of the Magical Hand was only 100 kilograms while its fist strength was slightly stronger, close to 300 kilograms.
Unfortunately, such power could only be used against ordinary people. It couldn’t even deal with a knight.
That was why it was just a daily life spell.
These two spells were convenient, coupled with the fact that they were popular, thus the sales were excellent and the prices were not low.
He only managed to buy two spells with 50,000 gold.
In addition, the antique market had been a little saturated recently, so he might not be able to earn as much as 50,000 gold next month.
This saturation wasn’t referring to the real market. Instead, it was referring to the saturation of Old John’s network.
He had fooled almost everyone who could afford the antiques. Unless he opened up new connections, it would be difficult to find someone he could trust in a short time to introduce ship merchants to buy.
At this point, he could either pull people into the business or develop slowly.
He would deal with this matter after he returned from the Fiend Salt Swamp.
” I’ve learned the new spells, so I’ll practice them for another week before setting off to experience real battles.”
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
“Scan.”
[Lin Suo]
Age: 19 (102)
[Talent: Myriad Synthesis]
[Level: Ultimate Knight (3/50); Intermediate Magi apprentice (4/100)
[Transcendence: Primitive Moon Monster Breathing Technique (red); Life Breathing Technique +1 (85/100); Thunder Breathing Technique +1 (79/100); Round Pupil Meditation Technique +2 (48/100)]
[Skill: Mud Stone Conversion +2 (9/100); Magical Hand (86/100); Underwater Breathing Technique (74/100)]
[Skills: Language guru (red), medicine (red), noble etiquette +3 (91/100), culinary skills +4 (7/100), the art of sea navigation (60/100)]
[Body Condition: Health, human limit]
During this period, his plans had been completed perfectly. He successfully broke through and became an intermediate Magi apprentice, and his mental power detection range increased to five meters.
In addition, Mud Stone Conversion had successfully broken through to the blue grade, which produced another derivative spell, which Lin Suo called Ground Wave. It was a movement skill that could turn the ground under his feet into waves and instantly push him ten meters away.
This was a rare movement skill, and he really liked it.
In terms of breathing techniques, he found two more that were quite useful. With his Ultimate Knight realm, his proficiency in practicing increased very quickly, and he completed two consecutive limit-breaking enhancements.
When those breathing techniques were upgraded to the red grade, they might be able to perfect the following path of Ultimate Knight.
The study of the art of sea navigation was also put on the agenda.
He became more and more knowledgeable and life was very fulfilling.
It was just quite tiring, though. Staying underground for a long time without sunlight caused his skin to become a degree paler while his eye bags were dark.
With natural smokey makeup, it was a little difficult to look presentable.
“Let’s go.”
